    It was a bright and sunny August afternoon and we had finished perusing the butterfly garden up the…read morehill. We strolled down through the beautiful gardens to the restaurant perched on the riverbanks. The restaurant does not optimize for volume or turnover and we had a 45 minute wait. We enjoyed the adjoining shop and their selection of jams and spread. The wait was worth it! The room is a bright large room overlooking the river. Handmade quilts hang from the ceiling. We started with nachos, that had the right blend of cheese and toppings. Unfortunately there were no side plates brought, causing us to eat like animals from a common trough. A slight mishap with a spilled glass of water interrupted our otherwise pleasant appetizer. The server's attention was less than prompt causing us to get extra napkins from directly behind the counter. Still, we soldiered on and prepared for the main feast. The seafood chowder was one of the better ones all trip. Fresh and flavourful pieces in a cream broth, served with a fresh side biscuit. The real opportunity is to highlight the delicious jams and spreads from the shop which would add some much needed flavour to the biscuits. Other meals included kids pasta, kids jam sandwich, a club sandwich, fish cakes and a Caesar salad. All were promptly devoured. A great location with fresh food and pleasant service. Worth the wait!

    While my large group had preordered our meals ahead of our arrival , the food delivery was off.

It was so bland I wish they had just said it wasn't being served rather than eat alone after everyone else had finished and I had to struggle through a smile that everything was fine. It wasn't. A glass of wine might have eased the gap; but they were already out of red.

    In reading all the national press about PEI's recent political debacles, one of the funniest public…read morecomments I came across was: "It's 11 o'clock in Toronto, 1953 in PEI". In many ways, this is true (certainly over at the Legislative Assembly, where Boss Tweed seems to have been reincarnated multiple times in the guise of an uneducated gang of greedy island fops). So every new food initiative which opens on PEI, whether it be a restaurant, a chip stand, or a food truck, is a small but very welcome miracle. Food restores the soul, and reminds us that there is hope. Recent rumbles of concern over in Summerside about there possibly being too many food trucks (uh, I believe they have three or four now... not exactly the Charge of the Light Brigade) is typically foolish small town politics and parochialism- it's just so darn silly you have to laugh or you will cry. So it is a very fortunate thing that Chef Norman, originally from Nicaragua, raised in Costa Rica, has brought his delicious concoctions and his warm and welcoming personality to the streets of this small island city. Menu items include a drop-dead delicious poutine with Norman's own home made gravy, beautifully seasoned pulled pork sandwiches, poboy sandwiches, fresh fish tacos, fried oyster tacos, a real caesar salad; and there's always something new which Chef Norman is more than willing to describe to you in minute detail (like the way he uses a local garlic guy's very own home made "black garlic"' liquified into a fabulous sauce. Mmmm. Mmmm. Gooooood!! This guy is a gem, and his cooking positively shimmers with inventiveness. Go. Eat. Live.

    Looked like it was going to taste good and it did! We had:…read moreLobster Poutine that consisted of gravy, curds, chunks of lobster and fries (with a hint of oysters, likely from the deep frier). Po Boy which has deep fried oysters, black garlic moonshine sauce, and pickled slaw aioli in a bun. The fries were great too. Definitely recommend!
